Donald Trump rally breaks Elton John's attendance record at River City Arena
US Chronicle ^ | 8/13/16 | Phoenix

Posted on 08/13/2016 6:42:33 PM PDT by Libloather

Americans seem to be hungry to Make America Great Again as they fill up venues again and again for billionaire presidential candidate Donald Trump, and the Baton Rouge River Center in Baton Rouge, AL is no exception.

Trump attracted so many supporters that the rally was delayed as they waited for the thousands of people who were in a line wrapping around the arena to make their way in. Trump’s attendees smashed the previous record of legendary musician Elton John who pulled in 8,000 fans to hear him play. The Donald filled the seats with an estimated 12,000 supporters.

**SNIP**

The grass roots movement supporting Trump, and the record breaking numbers he has been drawing at his political rallies might just be an indication that he will be sitting in the Oval Office within a year.

LA. The article clearly states LA. LA is the abbreviation for Louisiana. Where you did you see AL? He did have a rally in Baton Rouge, LA back in Feb of this year. The rally was not recently. And, yes his February Rally there had a very large attendance.

There is nothing bogus about the article but the fact it seems to be a rally of several months ago. However, this in no way discounts the massive crowds who seem to be drawn to the venue when he speaks.

Trump’s in-person crowds are crushing Clinton’s by a factor of between 10 to 1 – to 100 to 1.

yes! That is what the polls should be showing! But they're not. So they're bogus!

They are going to try, and they are going to fail.

That must be an old report. Trump has lately been in PA, VA, NC, OH and CT, but not LA. But regardless, he’s still packing out every venue. Yesterday, in Fairfield, CT the line to get in was reported as nearly 2 miles long.

They tried it with lying “polls” in Reagan v. Carter, right up to a few days before election. At that point they HAD to change their tune with the actual voting at hand. So on election eve, they told Jimmy it was over; that Reagan would win in a landslide.

I’ve got y’all beat (I’m old). My first MC was a Honda 50 Super Sport. My first “real” MC was a Yamaha YDS-3. 1965. Look it up!

The Honda 50cc—about the size of a 125-250, with a chrome tank and black knee rests? That was my first bike too. Does that mean I’m old?

Dang...

I just now looked it up. The record breaking Trump Rally in Baton Rouge took place on 13 February, 2016.

Polls this early are simply nit accurate at all. They never have been. They don’t predict the winner and especially the margin of victory. Post Labor Day polls are more accurate especially the later half of October.

Update — this could be an old rally back in February according to Tucker39. Sorry, guys. But there are other big rallies in past few days.
